Jul 13, 2016 at 20:01 comment added Johnny If they aren't driven regularly, their parts tend to wear faster or come apart Have a reference for this? Our 12 year old car sits outside for weeks at a time and hasn't fallen apart yet. Why will a radiator host wear out faster when the car is parked than when it's driven every day? Why is a 10 year old wheel bearing more stressed by parking than by driving? The only precaution I've taken with the car is putting a fuel stabilizer in the tank since we sometimes go months between fillups.
